Also address integrity) The Reid House is significant as a good example of period architecture in the English Revival style. The house was constructed as a speculative venture by C. B. Lee in 1925. The first owners of record are Robert and Grace Reid. Mr. Reid was the owner of the successful Reid Motor Company, The Santa Ana Register notes that the Raids were victims of burglary at the house In 1928, and two coats were stolen – a seat coat and a squirrel coat. The perpetrators were never caught. Reid sold the Motor Company in 1938 to W.R. (Stormy) Gordon and moves to Los Angeles. The house was sold to Robert and Mary Smith and It is assumed that the metal "S° affixed to the chimney was installed during this time. Unfortunately Mary died In the home on August 7, 1941, and Robert died later, that year. They are buried at Fairhaven Cemetery. The house was then purchased by Joel and Helen Ogle. An avid skier, Mr. Ogle, along with friends was famously snowed in at Big Beer in 1927, and had several search parties looking for them. A week later, the Ogle party made their way down the mountain. Mr. Ogle served as County Counsel throughout the depression, and during that time, had a salary of only $1. In fact, in 1932, he agreed to a 50% pay cut to earn only 50 cents per year: in 1934, the Ogle's had a tratedgy when their infant son died. Mr. Ogle becomes the Assistant District Attorney in 1938. The Ogles lived in this home until Mr, Ogles death In 1979. (See Continuation Sheet 3 of 4) B11. Additional Resource Attributes: (List attributes and codes) *B12.
